The FINLEY FAMILY As told by Emma Finley McBride to Edgerton B. Sprague

"Five main genealogies should be credited for the enormous information which they contain. Although each has been found to contain certain errors, they provide a good starting place for the FINLEY researcher. In fact, each one has been built off the work of the others, diverging into separate lines. It is the divergence of these lines that form the incredible wealth of world history that should make each one of us proud to have had FINLEY forefathers."
